How can I play MP3 with WinAPI in C? I am new to C and WinAPI. Could you provide an example code listing?

Xunshirine Xun,
If-and-when you have C specific questions I would suggest to post them in a
C related newsgroup. It ofcourse depends on the version of C you are using,
but if its VC++ I would suggest something like
"microsoft.public.vc.language" or "microsoft.public.vc.mfc"
As to how to play MP3 sounds/music ? That can be done using the
"mciSendString" function as supplied by the "winmm" DLL. I found several
examples for it using google.
Regards,
Rudy Wieser

I have used PlaySound() in the past to play .WAV files, I don't know if it supports .MP3 as well or not. The syntax I used was:

PlaySound(wave_name, NULL, SND_FILENAME) ;
(BTW, Rudy Wieser, I think this is an appropriate place to ask WinAPI questions; in fact, this is where I post *my* WinAPI questions. I use the MinGW toolchain to build my apps, and I've found that MinGW groups are not very efficient places to ask WinAPI questions!! 8-{) )

I myself did that by going the "mciSendString" way. It accepts a several
kinds of sound formats.

As I did not write it in C I'm not sure how much my code would help you.
:-\
The first thing I did was to send the following string to load the sound:
'open "yoursoundfile.mp3" type mpegvideo alias Sound1'
After that the following string starts it
'play Sound1'

Same here. There does not seem to exist a better newsgroup for it anymore.
